Slow ass super build

You can program everything via the buttons on the FXR's...no real need for the Hotwire unless you want to screw with the fuel and brake curves.

I know most of you guys know the size differance between 7980 servos' and regular ones and the differance between fxr's and differant escs' but i'm amazed now that i have them in my hands so i thought i'de share a couple pic's for those that have'nt had the pleasure.

BUILT UP A PAIR OF SERVO MOUNTS :twisted:, KINDA COPIED SVEN' MOUNTS, ALSO LIKE THE ONES ON JEREMYH'S RIG TOO. MADE THEM OUT OF 1/4" DELRIN. THEY TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD "thumbsup"
TOOK A COUPLE HOURS TO CUT AND FILE BY HAND.
THESE SERVOS' WOULD HAVE NEVER FIT WITH THE OLD 38.1 GEARBOXES WITHOUT MAJOR GRINDING OF THE TUBES BUT FIT NICELY WITH THE 65.1'S.

I STARTED TO DO THE 4mm KNUCKLE BEARING MOD, GOT 2 KNUCKLES DRILLED OUT AND THE BEARINGS FIT SNUGLY /PERFECT, BUT THEN I GOT THE OLD DREMEL OUT TO CLEARANCE THE INSIDE OF THE KNUCKLES FOR THE BEARING FLANGES AND IT TOOK A SHIT, STARTING SPEWING SPARKS EVERYWHERE :shock:. OH WELL, THIS OLD THING IS 15 YEARS OLD AT LEAST.
A TRIP TO LOWES IS IN ORDER.

THANKS SVEN, THEY WERE'NT REALLY THAT BAD TO FAB UP, DELRIN IS SO EASY TO WORK WITH, I REALLY AM PLEASED WITH THE FINISHED PRODUCT "thumbsup". NOW I NEED TO DYE THEM BLACK TO MATCH THE CHASSIS.
I ORDERED A DREMEL FROM FLEABAY FOR A GOOD PRICE + FREE SHIPPING, AS SOON AS I GET IT I CAN FINISH THE KNUCKLE BEARING MOD AND CLEARANCE THE KNUCKLES AND C'S FOR STEERING.
ALSO GOT A PAIR OF TIERODS ORDERED FROM TURBOFEST, SO I THINK I HAVE A COMPLETE (UNASSYMBLED) SUPER. I DO NEED TO ORDER 1 MORE 3S LIPO, BUT OTHER THAN THAT,,,,,,,,,,, :mrgreen:
